He was saying to me ‘oh my god, what happened to you?&#8221; Heard said of Franco, 42, whom Depp <strong>apparently accused of being her lover</strong>.</p><p>“[Franco] saw my face… when I let him in. He saw my face and he said ‘what the f&#8211;k?&#8217;”</p><p>Heard, 34, was seen red and slightly swollen in new photos that were taken after fighting with Depp, 57, over who <strong>defecated in their bed</strong> a month earlier.</p><p>The &#8220;Pirates of the Caribbean&#8221; star was accused of hurling a phone at his then-wife during the encounter &#8212; a claim which he denies.</p><p>His lawyers on Tuesday challenged Heard on the authenticity of photos, referring back to earlier claims from witnesses who said they didn&#8217;t see any bruises.</p><p>One of his attorneys, Eleanor Laws, said that Isaac Baruch, a pal of Depp&#8217;s who lived in the building, saw Heard “without any injuries&#8221; the same say Franco visited.</p><p>“I don’t know what Mr. Baruch saw,” Heard told the court.</p><p>The lawyer then referred to testimony from Heard&#8217;s former interior designer, Laura Divenere, who said the actress only appeared &#8220;red from crying.&#8221;</p><figure id="attachment_5326177"  class="wp-caption alignright"><strong><noscript><img data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/amber-heard-91.jpg" class="lazyload" src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==" /><noscript><img  data-src="/uploads/2020/07/amber-heard-91.jpg" /></noscript></noscript><img class="lazyload" src='data:image/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns=%22http://www.w3.org/2000/svg%22%20viewBox=%220%200%20210%20140%22%3E%3C/svg%3E' data- data-src="/uploads/2020/07/amber-heard-91.jpg" /></strong><figcaption class="wp-caption-text"><span>Another photo shows Amber Heard&#8217;s bruised face after Johnny Depp allegedly chucked a phone at her</span><span class="credit">PA</span></figcaption></figure><p>“I think she said it looked like, as if I was crying… she didn’t say that she saw me crying,” Heard said.</p><p>Heard has testified that Depp was abusive toward her more than a dozen times and said on Tuesday that she was &#8220;petrified of the monster that Johnny could become.”</p><p>The Oscar nominee has vehemently denied all allegations of assault stemming from their tumultuous marriage, claiming that it was &#8220;she who was violent to him.&#8221;</p><p>Heard acknowledged in court that she struck Depp during a &#8220;very violent&#8221; fight at the couple&#8217;s home in Los Angeles in March 2015.</p><p>&#8220;I did strike Johnny that day in defense of my sister [Whitney]. He was about to push her down the stairs,&#8221; Heard testified Tuesday, <strong>according to the Evening Standard</strong>.</p><p>She explained that at the time she had recalled hearing of a terrifying incident between Depp and supermodel Kate Moss, 46, whom he dated from 1994 to 1998.</p><p>“He pushed Kate Moss downstairs. I thought of that moment and in a flash. I reacted in defense of [my sister],&#8221; she told the court.</p><p>Laws, one of Depp&#8217;s attorneys, questioned whether Heard had come up with the Moss story on the fly, noting that she never mentioned the incident before.</p><p>But the &#8220;Aquaman&#8221; actress fired back, &#8220;That’s always what it’s been.&#8221;</p><p>Moss has stayed silent during the trial but Depp&#8217;s exes Winona Ryder and Vanessa Paradis have both <strong>submitted statements</strong> defending the Oscar nominee.</p><p>A rep for Moss didn&#8217;t immediately respond to request for comment.</p><p>In a written statement on Tuesday, Heard still rejected claims that she was physically aggressive in their relationship.</p><p>But in a written statement on Tuesday, Heard shot down claims that she was physically aggressive towards Depp during their relationship.</p><p>&#8220;This is not true. It is true that I had to use my body and limbs to protect myself from Johnny’s violence and abuse,&#8221; Heard said, <strong>according to the Daily Mail</strong>.</p><p>She claimed that when &#8220;Edward Scissorhands&#8221; star used phrases such as &#8220;punches&#8221; and &#8220;hits&#8221; that he was often referring to verbal insults.</p><p>&#8220;As someone who surrounded himself with people and created a life which meant he never had to face criticism or critical feedback of any kind, Johnny would often refer to even perceived criticism as &#8216;blows,&#8217; &#8216;jabs&#8217; or &#8216;right hooks,&#8217;&#8221; she continued, the outlet reported.</p><p>Depp is suing over the publication of a 2018 article that ran in The Sun and labeled him as a &#8220;wife-beater.&#8221;</p><p><em>With Post Wires</em></p>]]></content:encoded>
